#TwentyYearsOfHope: 1998 - 2018

Welcome to the all-new Hope Recordings website. We’re celebrating our twentieth anniversary this year, so we thought we’d commemorate this monumentous occasion by launching a brand new website. Here, you’ll find a full list of all our releases over the years, as well as a bunch of things for you to listen to, peruse, and generally amuse yourself with. Enjoy.

Dmitry Molosh - 2702

One of the stars of the recent progressive house renaissance is assuredly Dmitry Molosh. The globe-trotting DJ and genre-defining producer has been making ever-larger waves for many years now largely through his rapier-sharp musical focus.

Making his debut on Hope Recordings after his incredible remix for Black 8 in 2016, Dmitry brings a lifetime of passion and the studio skills of someone twice his age to bare on double-header, Lonely Heart and 2702.

Mariano Mellino & Interaxxis - Ecouter/Woodland

Two of the biggest names in the Buenos Aires Scene - Mariano Mellino & Interaxxis - collaborate on two tracks for the infamous Hope Recordings. Mariano Mellino's work has graced Sudbeat, Darkroom Dubs, Replug and Movement, while Interaxxis has seen his music appear on Plattenbank Records, Replug, Tulipa and Hope . They make the perfect musical pairing here, so let's get to the music...

'Ecouter' is a brooding and atmospheric workout, with plenty of drive and groove, with its bass powering the track along and some spacious pads and and subtle top line adding to the soundscape. A trippy and slightly wonky-edged whirling sound creates more tension as things really heat up, before we drift lusciously into the breakdown. A sophisticated number that's destined to cause devastation on the dancefloor.

'Woodland' is a tasty peak-time gem. Its intricate musicality is a serious piece of underground filthiness: big bass sounds, large sounding synths to cause mayhem, and seriously intense pads. Throw in the whirling and hypnotic pads, and that arp that comes and goes before really taking centre stage, and you get a track that adds another layer of bite to its already punchy aura. Big stuff!
